|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | marine | Chevron refinery wharf, Bayou Casotte Chevron says most crude processed at Pascagoula comes from foreign sources and arrives by marine tanker at the refinery wharf on Bayou Casotte, next to the Port of Pascagoula's marine facilities. The tankers are about 800 feet long and are managed by Chevron Shipping Company. Crude moves by pipeline from the wharf to refinery tanks. |
Mostly foreign crude. Chevron names Mexico and South America as origins. More Venezuelan crude since early 2026. | crude | source |

Chevron significantly increased processing of Venezuelan heavy sour crude at Pascagoula following the easing of Venezuela-related restrictions after Maduro's capture; Pascagoula is one of a limited number of Gulf Coast refineries (alongside New Orleans, Lake Charles, Port Arthur, Houston, and Corpus Christi facilities) configured for that heavy, sour slate. source

Chevron stated its Pascagoula refining operations were unaffected by the Colonial Pipeline ransomware outage and that it continued shipping fuel to its customer network. source
Rates are pipeline line-haul transcribed from published FERC tariffs; every figure cites its tariff and item. Cost to serve (netback) adds origin spot price and destination fees. "Confirmed" links match a tariff delivery point to the facility; "same city" means the point is in the facility's city — plausible, not proof; "per research" means the facility's research profile names the pipeline as an outlet.
